That, ladies and gents, is what I have come to call "The Dawkins Egg" (also, The Dawkins Flop).
Dawkins laid this egg in his The Blind Watchmaker when he presented the "Methinks it is like a weasel" program. The bottom line of this ostrich-sized egg is that Dawkins inserts the solution (the "evolutionary goal") into his program and then he actually becomes very excited when his program generates the result is "43 attempts" instead of the countless trillions of attempts that "blind chance" would take.
And now we have Beagle Boy laying the EGG again.
Bwahahahahahaha
I sure hope others here can see the side-splitting humor. Frankly, after laying that egg I was
surprised that Dawkins wasn't ousted forevermore from all science and speaking engagements.
